The Desert robe is a piece of desert clothing which helps players cross the Kharidian Desert. Even with the desert robe, waterskins are still needed to cross the desert by foot since the robe only slows down the rate players need to drink water. An entire set of desert clothing, which gives the best protection from the desert heat, consists of a desert shirt, the desert robe, and desert boots.

A desert robe is needed for the quest Shadow of the Storm. During the quest, it is turned into a black desert robe by dyeing a regular desert robe with black mushroom ink. Once the robe is dyed with ink, the robe no longer offers protection from the desert heat.
